When the UFC started in 1993, nobody expected the promotion to be a true leader in combat sports. Today, it is a powerhouse. In celebration, UFC 300 honored the past and present with a massive fight card that exceeded expectations.
In the main event of UFC 300, Alex Pereira and Jamahal Hill faced each other for the light heavyweight title. And ‘Poatan’ delighted again.
On this historic evening, Alex Pereira attempted to defend his -93 kg title for the first time. Facing him, Jamahal Hill (former champion of the category), wanted to regain his title. On paper, this fight between strikers promised to cause sparks.
Round 1: In the center of the cage, the two athletes exchange fists and feet as expected. With a shattering left hook, Alex Pereira lays down Jamahal, and finishes the work on the ground. The referee stops the fight: the Brazilian wins by TKO!
Simply put, Alex Pereira eliminated Jamal Hill in the first round by knockout😅#UFC300

‘Poatan’ therefore retains his light heavyweight title. At the same time, he received his black belt in BJJ, and demanded a fight at heavyweight. The Brazilian seems unstoppable: after his coronation in middleweight, and his confirmation in light heavyweight, he wants to tackle a new belt.
As a reminder, he only has 12 fights in professional MMA at the moment. His completely crazy journey could well continue… Jon Jones has been warned.
